MATERIALS AND METHODSMammalian cells (HeLa, WI-38, CHO, and PtK,) were cultured by standard techniques. For light microscopy, the cells were subcultured on glass cover slips which can be inverted onto a glass slide (using slivers of parafilm as spacers) and waxed down to form a simple chamber that will support the initiation and completion of cell division for about 4 hours. For electron microscopy, the cells were fixed after the method of Brinkley et aI.,? O or in a mixture of 4% glutaraldehyde, 4% 20 M Carbowax@(Cx) in 0.1 M piperazine-N-N’-(2-ethane sulfonic acid) adjusted to pH 6.9 with NaOH (PIPES buffer). This fixative must be made up fresh before use. Fixed cells were rinsed in buffer, treated with OsO,, dehydrated, and embedded by standard techniques. Single cells were selected from wafers of plastic with a phase microscope, excised, and serially sectioned in a chosen orientation for electron microscopy. For microscopy in a high-voltage electron microscope, the cells were fixed and embedded as described and sectioned at a nominal thickness of 1 pm. About 10 sections were picked up on a carbon and Formvafl-coated slot grid, stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate for about 30 min each at room
